Thursday, January 24th, the annual Sabre of Boldness ceremony will be held at about 8:30 pm in the seminary commons area. This year we have amplification, so everyone should be able to hear just fine.  You may bring libations with you. In fact, if you don't bring libations with you, you might be without them.
